To prepare the oxygen cell for operation, you must fill it with the
electrolyte that has been supplied in a plastic bottle.
The electrolyte contains potassium hydroxide that
is harmful if it comes in contact with eyes or skin.
Consult your company safety personnel for proper
procedures for handling the electrolyte.
1. Unscrew the top on the oxygen cell's reservoir. If you are using an
explosion-proof cell, make sure its electrolyte discharge valve is
in the vertical (closed) position (see Figure 1-7 below).

2. Slowly add the entire contents of the bottle, approximately three
ounces (90 ml), making sure not to spill any on the outside of the
cell. Be especially careful that the electrolyte does not come in
contact with any of the cell's electrical connections.
3. Using the min/max window on the oxygen cell, check the
electrolyte level. The electrolyte should cover about 60% of the
window (see Figure 1-7 above). The cell is now ready to be
connected to the gas line.
